But according to the news publication, it wasn’t love at first sight. They knew each other from church for four years but never really spoke in length—until Lucinda missed a few days and Murphy took notice.

When Murphy finally came back, Lucinda shot her shot after being told by a friend that Murphy liked her. He had also complimented her in the past.

“I haven’t seen your beautiful smile lately,” she said giving him a hug.

The couple started dating in April of this year. Murphy whose wife of 41 years died in 2013, popped the question a month later. The couple plans on marrying on July 29.

“I just know, I knew she was a Godsend,” he said. “She is who I need. She gave me my balance back.”

Lucinda echoes those sentiments.

In a blog post by Gianna Snell, the photographer who took their engagement photos, Lucinda said: “I know this is from the Lord, because I prayed for him. I had been asking God to send me someone, and Murphy is everything I’ve ever wanted in a man.”
